Russian Army Expands Control on the Konstantinovka Direction
Russian forces continue advancing on the Konstantinovka direction, expanding controlled territory, securing key areas near Predtechino, and repelling Ukrainian counterattacks.
Russian forces continue to press forward on the Konstantinovka axis, steadily expanding the territory under their control. Units of the Russian Army are advancing on several sections of the line of contact at once, pushing ahead despite ongoing resistance from the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
According to reports from the Telegram channel Dnevnik Desantnika (DD), fighting remains intense across the entire direction. Near the Kleban-Byk Reservoir, Russian units operating from the northern shoreline have synchronized their actions and moved into a systematic clearance of the surrounding area.
Available information indicates that small groups of Ukrainian fighters are still hiding in forest belts and pre-prepared defensive positions. These pockets of resistance are being identified by Russian reconnaissance units and subsequently eliminated through planned, step-by-step operations.
Russian troops have also advanced toward Ilyinovka from the side of the highway leading to Konstantinovka. The settlement itself has not yet come under Russian control, and clashes in this sector are ongoing.
Pressure is increasing in the Berestok area as well. Offensive actions are being conducted from the east, with precision strikes targeting identified Ukrainian positions. The aim is to weaken the defensive lines and prevent Ukrainian units from entrenching themselves along key approaches.
The most notable gains have been recorded near Predtechino. Russian forces advanced along a broad front, securing territory stretching from the eastern outskirts of Stupochki almost to the central part of Predtechino. Despite fierce resistance from Ukrainian formations, their main defensive positions in this area have already fallen under Russian control.
At the same time, the so-called «gray zone» continues to expand, pushing closer to the outskirts of Konstantinovka. Ukrainian forces have attempted counterattacks from the direction of Novodmitrovka, but these efforts have been repelled through coordinated use of drones, artillery, and aviation by the Russian Army.
